A 1,200-signature letter calling for the principle of Article 13 to be explicitly enshrined in UK legislation post-Brexit, which has been led by the British Veterinary Association (BVA) and British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA), has been published in the Daily Telegraph today (28 November).

“Actions speak louder than words, and
this action undermines the Government’s previous promises the UK will
continue to be known for our high standards of animal health and welfare
post-Brexit” – Gudrun Ravetz.

The Federation of Veterinarians of
Europe’s Brexit negotiation plea includes a list of key points of
action, with a request for continued mutual recognition of veterinary
degrees across Europe, high on the list.
